To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We are in no vain chase of an equality which wouldeliminate all individual initiative, and check all progress, by ignoringdifferences of capacity and strength, and rating muscles equal to brains. But we are in pursuit of equal laws, and a fairer chance of leading happylives than humanity in general ever had yet. And this fairer chance wouldnot, for instance, permit any man to become a millionaire by somanipulating railways that the subscribing towns and private stockholdersshould lose their inv...estments; nor would it assume that any Gentile orJew has the right to grow rich by the chance of compelling poor women tomake shirts for six cents apiece. The public opinion which sustains thesedeeds is as un-American, and as guilty as their doers. While abuses likethese exist, tolerated by the majority that not only make public opinion, but make the laws, this is not a government for the people, any more thana government of bosses is a government by the people.
The Pilgrims of Plymouth could see no way of shaping their lives inaccordance with the higher law except by separating themselves from theworld.
